Third-party package
OneDrive
Safe to disable: com.microsoft.skydrive Safe to disable Vendor documentation
Microsoft's cloud storage app, preinstalled on Galaxy phones and linked to Gallery for photo backup. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.
What it does
OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage service for files and photos. Samsung preinstalls it on Galaxy phones under a long-running partnership with Microsoft, and Samsung Gallery can sync albums to it. It is published on the Play Store, and on Galaxy phones it is often part of the system image, so Settings may offer Disable rather than Uninstall. It runs in the background when photo backup or file sync is on.
Also shown as Microsoft OneDrive.
If you disable it
OneDrive files and Gallery sync to OneDrive are no longer available on the phone. Your files stay in your Microsoft account online.
How to disable it
Settings offers Disable for this package on most phones. Open Settings > Apps > OneDrive > Disable.
